THE PEDIATRICIAN AND THE PUBLIC

HEARING IMPAIRMENT IN CHILDHOOD

ARTHUR J. LESSER M.D.1

1 Director, Division of Health Services, Children's Bureau, Washington, D.C.

Editors: PAUL A. HARPER, M.D..

Your editor has asked a few physicians who have experience in the clinical, public health and educational aspects of some of the newer programs for handicapped children to prepare communications for this column. The first of these, Hearing Impairment in Childhood, is presented in this issue. The opportunities for helping children with impaired hearing which have been made possible by improvements in the vacuum tube, by specific therapy for middle ear infections, and by advances in speech training are among the most exciting in this decade.

A discussion of similar programs for children with epilepsy and with cerebral palsy are scheduled in future months.
